Disgruntled Ola Customer Sets Showroom on Fire Over Scooter Repair Delays

Not sure where we are heading as a society. This is just sad. Hope this guy gets jailed for at least 10 years.

With all these EVs catching fire and Ola not being able to turn a profit, Im curious to know if it really is a solid company or just an investor-money marketing hype? I mean most of the folks I know open Ola LAST, if Uber/Rapido/Blusmart haven’t worked. Ola E is also facing a lot of flak because its EVs are seeing the highest number of incidents. They’ve also had a string of CXOs come and go. Are Ola + Ola E good companies? Like I’m curious to know what you guys generally think, even from a job perspective. (PS, for the sake of transparency, I’m a journalist [you can drop me any scoops/leads at [email protected]] but this question has nothing to do with work — i’m seriously, genuinely curious about Ola and Ola Electric and Bhavish Aggarwal. Very few Ola folks speak about the internal goings on at the company)

All I can hear is negative reviews about OLA scooters , even their social handles are bombarded with problems . Have any of you guys faced any issues or do you think it's a defamation act by ops???

I just across this news, I mean really? He is CEO? How people's supported this mindset? Why people's still working in OLA? Is it because they fear sacking?

Using this for the past few weeks. Amazing product at this price - extremely smooth and no issues at all. Why is Ola getting so much hate if the product is good?

- Ola is entering the $5-billion quick commerce market, competing with Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, and Flipkart Minute. - At its 'Sankalp' event, Ola explained its dark store concept, aiming to cut order processing time from four minutes to under one minute using automation. - The quick commerce sector has become indispensable, with rapid growth since 2021, according to UBS analysts. - Blinkit has been crucial to Zomato's growth, while Zepto is raising $1 billion, showing strong investor confidence. - Ola's Bhavish Aggarwal plans to use robots in dark stores, unlike competitors who rely on human labor.

Damn, let me tell you how Ola has messed up the auto rickshaw industry! They came in acting all fancy, promising convenience and fair prices. But what do we get? Overcharging like crazy! Their surge pricing during peak hours is a complete rip-off. They take advantage of our desperation and squeeze every penny out of us. And who suffers the most? The hardworking folks who rely on auto rickshaws every day. But it doesn't stop there. Ola's profiteering tactics have destroyed the earning potential of auto rickshaw drivers. They used to have control over their fares and make a decent living. Now, Ola dictates the prices and leaves the drivers scraping for scraps. It's just not fair! They've disrupted the whole system, and not in a good way. The drivers are struggling, and we passengers are getting ripped off left and right. Ola, you've turned a once reliable and affordable mode of transportation into a nightmare. Shame on you!

Krutrim has become a unicorn after securing $50m in funding, making it the first Indian AI startup with a valuation of $1bn. It seems like an extremely overvalued company being built yet again. Thoughts?
